Early Stage Breast Cancer Recurrence Linked to High Leukocyte Ratio
A high ratio of two types of immune system cell is linked to an increased risk of disease recurrence after a diagnosis of early stage breast cancer and the findings might guide future treatment and monitoring strategies, if prospective studies confirm the link. More...23 Mar 2016

Age Should Be Considered in Developing Diagnostic Assays
In a new study on breast cancer, blood test results have demonstrated age-related differences in Tumor-Associated Antibodies, showing for the first time age-related differences that should be taken into consideration when developing diagnostic tests. More...23 Mar 2016
Fibrin Network Changes in Neonates After Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Quantitative and qualitative differences in the hemostatic systems exist between neonates and adults, including the presence of “fetal” fibrinogen, a qualitatively dysfunctional form of fibrinogen that exists until one year of age. More...22 Mar 2016

Severe Anemia Associated with Increased Risk of Necrotizing Enterocolitis
Necrotizing enterocolitis an acute, life-threatening, inflammatory disease occurring in the intestines of premature infants, is a leading cause of mortality among preterm infants with case-fatality rates of 20% to 30% yet the origin and development of NEC remains unclear. More...16 Mar 2016

Novel Device Measures Stiffness and Stickiness in Erythrocytes
In sickle cell disease, hemoglobin molecules polymerize intracellularly and lead to a cascade of events resulting in decreased deformability and increased adhesion of red blood cells. Decreased deformability and increased adhesion of sickle RBCs lead to blood vessel occlusion, known as vaso-occlusion, in SCD patients. More...13 Mar 2016
